Alright, welcome to the show y'all. Welcome. God damnit. I wish I had some good news for you. I wish I could give you some happy stuff here, but I don't have much. Actually you know what? One thing that was somewhat positive is the absolutely catastrophic poll numbers that have come out on certain issues around Trump and his agenda and what he wants to do. So I guess that's some positive news. We also have there's a lying maga hack his named Kevin O'Leary. I think he absolutely hits a brick wall of reality in a debate he had on, I think it was cnn. So I guess you have some kind of have some good news but the rest of it is just absolutely apocalyptic. So in just a second I'm gonna break down for you how Donald Trump completely betrayed and abandoned his own supporters. He is now blocking FEMA money from getting to red states that have been destroyed by flooding and natural disasters.

I mean really, really ugly stuff. Then I'll get to James Carill. The ancient Democratic strategist somehow manages to give the absolute worst advice of all time. We'll talk about that. Trump was desperately trying to snubb Joe Biden and so he decided to kill 115,000 high paying factory jobs that were goingna come to this country. Every day bro, every day it's something new. And then later on we have Trump sells out America. I mean there's no other way to say it. He basically wants to turn this country into a robber baron country club. This new plan that he laid out, pro immigration plan. But I think you can guess who he wants to come into this country. Its mostly like Saudi princes. That's what he wants here. So anyway, we have all that and more. Everybody do me a big favor, please subscribe to the channel that helps out massively and cost you nothing at all.

So again, much love from the bottom of my heart. Alright, let's go ahead and dive into y'all. We got a lot to talk about. So look at this from Dropsite News. I'm gonna break this down for you. Trump stripped all $103 million of legal assistance from storm and disaster victims. So of course, when he was on the campaign trail, he said repeatedly, joe Biden, Joe Biden is abandoning all these victims, these hurricane victims, these flood victims. It, its terrible. Now look at what he's doing. It so bad. Second he gets in office, Trump betrays these people. So heres what they say. I think this was Ryan Grimm too. Ryan Grimm and Sarae shout out to them. So they say. Before officially taking office, the incoming Trump administration directed House Speaker Mike Johnson to strip legal assistance from victims of floods, hurricanes and fire that had been included in an emergency supplemental spending bill in December.
-
Unknown A
Johnson readily complied, sources familiar with the negotiations said, and the move came even after President Trump's election campaign ran heavily on the claim that Democrats abandoned flood victims, particularly those in western North Carolina. The funding cut, amounting to $103 million, has not been previously reported. The directive was delivered to Johnson by Russ Vought. Does that name sound familiar to you guys? This was one of the main guys that wrote Project 2025. The thing that Trump pretended like, I don't even know that. I don't even like it. I don't even know what it is. It's actually terrible. I don't know. I got nothing to do with it. Nothing at all. Oh, would you look at that? He keeps appointing people from Project 125 and he keeps doing Project 2025 policies. They continue. They say Vought at the time was Trumps incoming Director of Office of Management and Budget and has since been confirmed to the position as Trumps budget director.
-
Unknown A
During his first time, he attempted each year to defund the Legal Services Corporation in its entirety. LSC provides legal aid on civil matters to struggling Americans. Despite Vought's previous effort, both Republicans and Democrats continued funding LSE during his first term. Vought's sniping of LSE in the Disasterus supplemental suggests his attack on LSE is far from over. Vought is known in Republican circles as one of the most aggressive advocates of austerity. You know what that guy mean? Do you know what that means? Guys think whenever somebody mentions austerity, just comprehend that as they are anti government fundamentalists and they want to get rid of all of the government programs that help regular people. That's what austerity is. Get rid of Medicaid, get rid of Medicare, get rid of Social Security, get rid of home heating assistance, get rid of nutrition assistance for kids, get rid of food stamps, get rid of anything that the government does that's positive.
-
Unknown A
Austerity is cutting that or trying to eliminate that. Okay. He served as a senior staffer on Capitol Hill to House Republicans before his first stint at the OMB and was a principal driver of Project 2025, the blueprint for the evisceration of the administrative state now underway. More than 90 million people in 28 states. Think about that. Guys were impacted by hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, flooding and extreme weather that warranted a disaster declaration in 2023 and 2024, according to LSE supplemental request for funding. The California wildfires have only exacerbated the crisis. Before the California fires, 17 million people were already eligible for legal assistance navigating disaster recovery. Absent the new funding, those services will be largely unavailable. So what does that mean? This is the important part. You ready? The move is a victory for property insurers looking to cut costs after major disasters as homeowners and renters still reeling from some of the worst natural disasters in their lifetimes will be unable to tap the legal resources needed to navigate the thicket of obstacles often thrown up by insurers.

Unknown A
The line items struck by Johnson would have provided $103 million of assistance to support families facing opportunistic scammers and miserly insurance companies seeking to avoid paying out on policies. So do you understand that basically what they're doing here is handcuffing disaster victims and making it impossible for them to navigate the different roadblocks and hurdles put up by insurance companies who are trying to screw them over. And now this opens the door to massive scammers to try to take advantage of them. Thats s what this is. There's a giant middle finger to everybody who was the victim of some disaster and they desperately need help from FEMA and they desperately are trying to get their lives back on track. The whole purpose of this is a giant middle finger to those people. Why? Because they want to pleasure the insurance executives. Right? That's who these people are.
-
Unknown A
That's who Russ Vought represents. These people represent the corporations and the robber barons and the billionaires and they have nothing but disdain for regular Americans. Alright, so I got more for you. So that's only One little piece of this, guys. As my beautiful and lovely wife points out, here she did a TikTok on this. West Virginians are still waiting on Trump's help after a disastrous flood destroy thousands of homes, businesses, and claim three lives. It's been over a week and still no emergency declaration or FEMA help. So here's what she says. Here we go.
-
Unknown B
Donald Trump has abandoned some of his biggest supporters in the state of West Virginia. So look at this wreckage. This is after some horrific floods hit that state. They lost some 2,000 houses, untold businesses, just a devastating blow. This happened about eight days ago. And so far, he has not signed an emergency disaster declaration to get these people any federal government help. FEMA is not on the ground there. They're not doing anything because he hasn't signed this declaration.
-
Unknown A
So in other words, the thing that he was accusing Biden of doing for western North Carolina, which, by the way, they lied. They lied through their teeth relentlessly about that. Biden immediately signed the FEMA declaration, like, right away. The disaster declaration, like, immediately. Right, but the thing he accused Biden of doing, he's actually doing it. And he's doing it with the state of West Virginia, which is packed full of hardcore MAGA Trump supporters. He's screwing his own supporters.
-
Unknown B
I don't know if you remember, but back after western North Carolina was hit with flooding, the Republicans were viciously attacking Democrats, the Biden administration, over their claims that FEMA was not doing enough on the ground there to help those people. Well, now here we are, eight days now. Trump has done literally nothing, nothing to help. He also is floating, dismantling FEMA altogether so that there would be no help for these people or anyone else around the country. Crisis and disaster hits the Republican governor. The whole Republican congressional delegation wrote him a letter, made an application, trying to get this declaration.
-
Unknown A
That's wild. So the politicians in West Virginia have been screaming through a megaphone, for the love of God, fucking help us. Nothing. Radio silence from Trump.
-
Unknown B
But they could get the help.
-
Unknown A
He's too busy writing executive orders telling trans people they suck.
-
Unknown B
And more than a week later, absolutely nothing. I guess he's too busy renaming the Gulf of Mexico or messing around with Doge or going golfing, as he seems to do every day.
-
Unknown A
30%, 30% of the time that he's been president, he's been golfing at Mar a Lago.
-
Unknown B
He's too busy doing that versus actually caring about these people, who, by the way, these counties were some of the reddest in the entire country. These People overwhelmingly give their votes to Donald Trump. So if you thought that his attacks on FEMA were just goingna hurt blue states and Democrats in liberal areas, think again because he can't even be bothered with some of his strongest supporters.
-
Unknown A
So she referenced this, but let me show you it Almost like, it's almost hard to believe, right? When somebody says it like did you know Trump floated totally dismantling fema? It's like that sounds insane because when you think of what are like core government functions, right, to have a civilized, developed society that works, one of the main things you need is hey, we're all Americans. If there's a disaster in Alabama, that's like those are my countrymen dog, right? So I want them to get help. The fact that some of my tax dollars go towards helping people after a natural disaster when they lose everything, that's one of the best things my tax money go towards. I wish more of my tax money would go towards that and not go towards committing a genocide in Gaza, right? But Trump literally said it bro. Here, listen, listen.

FEMA is a very expensive organization that really doesn't work out very well. It hasn't. This is not the only example. So it was up to me right now, it ended right now. And if it was up to you right now, you would end FEMA right now, bro. This, that is mental. Holy cow. Just let the state take care of the problem. I mean you can always have problems. Let the state, if it's Florida, it's a hurricane, let Florida take care of it. States don't have the resources when there's a multi billion dollar catastrophe. And he knows that, he's gotta know that, he's gotta know that. He's basically telling the American people kick rocks, your government doesn't care about you. We don't want it to care about you. All he wants the government to do is serve his robber baron buddies and corporations. That's it. And you can see the flooding here on the right, this was in Kentucky.
-
Unknown A
And of course Trump is the biggest virtue signaler in the world, right? When East Palestin Ohio had that chemical train deilment and there was this horrific reaction to that, right? He, I think he went there to virtue Signal like oh yeah, I care about you. Oh I care so much about you. We were gonna fix this, dont worry, were'on top of it, right? Loves to hop in front of a parade and loves to virtue signal but when push comes to shove hes going, going gonzo. No interest whatsoever in looking out for the American people. If youre gonna run for president at the very least shouldn't you be somebody who believes the government has the potential and the capacity for good? The idea like the entire republic party government doesn't work. Government doesn't work. And then they get into office and prove it and then they act well we destroyed everything, so yeah, it doesn't work.
-
Unknown A
Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have destroyed everything. Oh my God, oh my God bro. Betraying his own hardcore supporters, Thats s what hes s doing here. And look, not trying to be an asshole but we did warn everybody, didnt we? We did warn everybody. This guy is power hungry, hes authoritarian, hes a fascist menace and hes also now an 1800 style imperialist and hes also a deep believer in oligarchy in the robber baron coup which is why he'letting the richest man in the world hack around into our government agencies and delete programs like cancer research for kids and flight safety officials as a plane crashes every day. So look, I really hope that you know Im'm under no illusions here. I know who my audience is. But I really hope that a video like this gets in front of conservatives, gets in front of MAGA or at the very least fence sitters so they understand what were re working with here.

Because all of the information is available. You just have to connect the dots and then youl ll understand these people are your enemy. I mean that right? I think one of the downsides of liberals and leftists is that they're generally very intelligent. So you can see nuance in almost everything, right? This is what liberals and leftists do. But the fact of the matter is the point where at now we gotta be willing to be honest and say good and evil exist and this is evil, he is evil and this is evil and it its that simple.
